I didn't know that MTV still played songs.

P.S. Amy Lee is a FOX

I think I heard a preview of Freak On A Leash with Amy Lee unplugged, it was one of their acoustic songs anyway, and I didn't like it. Jonathan Davis just doesn't have the voice for an acoustic set in my opinion, too abrasive.

It's a pretty good song by itself. It just sounds rediculous to be sung (sang?) with a soft voice. They get to the 'Go' part, and instead of dropping it, they keep it and have Amy Lee solo sing in the background. Any credibility for an unplugged album shot out the window with this few seconds of the song.

The original music video was friggin awesome.

A note about BOC. They still tour and they put on a great show. I saw them last year in Fairfield, CA at tiny little venue. An audience of only 100 maybe which is a shame but they still went for it. They have a couple of young guys on bass and drums and both were impressive I thought. Anyway, even if you're not a huge fan of theirs it's well worth the price of admission if you like to see an accomplished guitarist doing his thing. Buck's playing was flawless. He makes it look and sound so easy.

I 100% disagree with you. Amy Lee has an incredible voice and the melodic nature of acustic instruments takes a hard edge song and makes it soft while retaining alot of the darkness that the song has.

I can't stand whiners that complain and dribble every time somthing "orriginal" is re-done.

Nirvana,

I think his harsh voice is what makes it intresting. It's outside the norm completly.

Some of the other songs on the set absolutly suck because his voice just ruins them like coming undone.

Ya, Amy Lee has a smoking voice. There are some of Ev's songs I don't particularly care for( a bit slow for me) but will listen to for the sake of Amy Lee's voice. Of course, Bring me to Life just stomps... that opening base makes me whole car rumble.

Just listened to the redone Freak on a Leash w/ Amy Lee...

Sounded great!

I also like the live piano version of 3am by Matchbox Twenty. They took this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cr87fWZGfk and made it something that had the people shut up and listen.

I can't find the solo piano 3am on YouTube but it's good and it's a different take on a familiar song. It's also done by the original artist. Same goes for Korn. To see a band take a step off of their path and have a different approach to their material (especially if it's good as is the case with that Korn video and many of the Unplugged features) is refreshing.

Between Storytellers, Unplugged and now Crossroads VH1 gets a thumbs up from me.

one man's gay is another man's.......

hmm, I'm without a snappy come back on this on.

If you look at the cover of Creep video (horrible cover IMHO) they got a cool instrument that they use through out the CD. The best way to describe it is a "Spinning glass machine" Pretty cool stuff.

They need to spend less time at the Halloween store picking out masks and focus on creating original music.

I'm pretty sure they write their own stuff.

311 would do an awesome unplugged set
